The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency, a unit created under President Donald Trump and once headed by Elon Musk, is developing an artificial-intelligence platform to accelerate deregulation, according to internal documents obtained by the Washington Post. The “DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool” has reviewed roughly 200,000 federal regulations and identified about 100,000—half the total—for possible repeal by January 2026, the first anniversary of Trump’s second inauguration. A PowerPoint presentation cited by the newspaper says the system has already been tested at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, where it drafted all proposed deregulations, and at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which used the tool to assess more than 1,000 regulatory sections. DOGE projects that automating the review could cut required staff time by 93%, from 3.6 million to 252,000 labor hours, and supporters inside the agency claim the changes could eventually trim compliance costs by “trillions” of dollars. The White House confirmed that the administration is examining artificial-intelligence options to meet its pledge of the “most aggressive regulatory reduction in history,” but spokesman Harrison Fields told the Post that no plan has yet been formally approved and the effort remains in early stages. The initiative is likely to draw scrutiny from lawmakers and industry groups concerned about the accuracy of AI-driven legal analyses after HUD employees reported that the tool occasionally misinterpreted statutory language.
